I am a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and now an author at 72. I say to everyone "Never give up on your dreams"Like a dandelion in the wind is a true-life story...my story!My story starts with my ill-fated grandmother, my long-suffering very religious mother, my ratbag of a father, right through to my adulthood and all my adventures in between. Even though I was taken out of school just before I turned 13 and changed so many schools that I lost count after the eighth one, I never gave up. I started to jot down my memories in little notepads over 30 years ago and now they are in a beautiful two-part book. Dreams do happen <3
